PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This School Vocabulary Crossword Puzzle packet is perfect for the beginning of the year when students are reacquainting themselves with academics. Depending on your grade level and the literacy level of your students, these crossword puzzles can be done as independent work in a Literacy Center or as a whole group guided vocabulary/spelling lesson.
This product includes 2 versions for each of the 6 crossword puzzles. For students who need more literacy scaffolding in order to become successfully engaged in this activity, a word box listing each word that will be used to complete the crossword puzzle is given. For more proficient literacy learners the same crossword puzzle without the word box/possible answers is an option. Each puzzle incorporates 12 – 14 words. The set includes the following crossword titles:
• School Supplies (stapler, pencil, notebook)
• School Nouns (custodian, gymnasium, locker)
• School Verbs (compare, illustrate, discuss)
• Math Vocabulary (perimeter, denominator, trapezoid)
• Literacy Vocabulary (setting, antonym, infer)
• School Subjects (geometry, history, biology)
The “School Subject” puzzle is particularly challenging, so may be appropriate material for dictionary/reference practice with students who would benefit from an academic challenge.
An answer key is provided for each puzzle. Take a look at the preview to see examples of the content of this fun & engaging product! Thank you for your interest in these materials.
